Fixed Star Haedus II Astrology
Hoedus II has the nature of Mars and Mercury (high enterprise, combative, destructive.) [1]
Constellation Auriga
The constellation is said to give self-confidence, interest in social and educational problems, and happiness, but the danger of great vicissitudes. The native is fond of country life and may be a teacher or have the upbringing of young people. [1]
Auriga is one of the most fortunate constellations in the sky, but may still portend earthquakes if situated unfortunately as regards a solar eclipse. [2]

Fixed Star Haedus I Conjunctions
Ascendant conjunct Haedus II: Rash, very obstinate, ruined by headstrong and precipitate conduct. [1]
When rising, Haedus I and its companion Haedus II indicate a native who may be petulant and lascivious, one who is said to be involved in depraved and vicious desires. If other factors in the chart confirm these stars, the native’s whole appearance to others may be that of a lie, of a person who promises one thing but hides another thing in his heart. [2]

Descendant conjunct Haedus II: Ancient astrologers asserted these two stars presaged cowards in battle and even suicide or other early death when setting (especially when the Descendant is also in square or opposition aspect to Saturn). When Mars is conjunct the Descendant as either Haedus I or Haedus II is setting, the indication is for religious fanaticism and ruin as a result of the resultant excesses. [2]
